You Can Deal With Stress

There was a study done in Australia that showed that chewing gum before stressful events actually reduced stress and anxiety and boosted alertness. Those who needed to perform under pressure felt that chewing gum was helpful during bouts of mild and moderate stress than compared to those who chewed no gum at all. We also know that most dentists recommend chewing sugarless gum after meals if you can’t brush to keep a healthy mouth. It was also found that chewing gum reduced the amount of cortisol (a stress hormone) in the saliva. Chewing gum cold be better for us than we thought.
